Twenty-ninth Column
This December was a very difficult month for me and I found hardly any time for posting entries to my blog yet. But of course "The show must go on". I need to post an entry for Gendertalk every two weeks. So here it is...
Tonight my twenty-ninth column was broadcast in Gendertalk #542.
You can find the complete program in the Gendertalk archive.

Blue Christmas
Yes it is Christmas Eve. There is no point in denying that. Most people have put up a X-mas tree and some have even decorated the outside of their houses with lights. No matter what station I tune into on the radio I get to hear X-mas carols. And Santa Claus is ringing his bell on every corner of every street.
But I don't really feel like celebrating X-mas this year. It is a typical family thing to celebrate. Not very nice for those who are living all by themselves, like Julia and me. These are the days when you feel you have separated most strongly.
We are doing fine, both of us. Julia is now living in a very nice apartment very close to the city center and I am still living in the house we used to share. We both enjoy our freedom and we know we have made the right decision. But it is not always easy.
We knew that. We knew we were not making the easy choice. But sometimes a girl has to do what a girl has to do. And of course for me it is not only the separation but also the new job I have started on December 1st. Every day starts with a fifty mile traffic jam to get to work. And when I get there I need to perform at my best, especially during my probationary period. But it is going very well. I feel totally accepted amongst my new colleagues. They do know about my past, but the big difference with my former job is: Very few of them have ever known me as a man! I think there is a bright future ahead of me with this company.
So there is reason enough to celebrate and I will do that. Tonight, while you are listening to my column, I will be at a kinky party in Amsterdam. And I will be dressed up! For me dressing up is no longer dressing as a woman, that has now been everyday routine for me for more than three years. I will be dressed as a female Santa Claus in a bright red mini-dress, white stockings with suspenders and Santa's jacket and hat. I don't think I will be wearing the beard though. I hate beards!
HO-HO, HO HOOOO!
For Gendertalk, this was Evelien Snel from the Netherlands, wishing all of you a Merry X-mas and a happy new year and hoping to join you again... In two weeks!
